Coney Island Creek Submarine
Much of Coney Island is still in the process of recovering from the devastation wrought by Sandy, and anyway, it’s January, so roller coasters and the beach wouldn’t have been the best idea to begin with. Instead, pay a visit to the Coney Island Creek, which has housed a mysterious, stranded submarine since 1970. It looks cool enough from afar, but you could also follow the lead of the intrepid randos in this YouTube video, who actually rafted out to the vessel to poke around the wreckage. Your call.
